Why count words?
Writers, students and SEO professionals all work to length targets — essays, meta descriptions (under 160 characters), tweets and product copy. Live counts keep you on target without guessing.
Reading time
Average adult reading speed is about 200 words per minute. We use that to estimate how long your text takes to read.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a character limit?
No practical limit — the counter handles very long documents smoothly.
How is reading time calculated?
Words divided by 200 (average words per minute), rounded up to the nearest minute.
Is my text uploaded anywhere?
No. Counting happens entirely in your browser.
